Professional Resume Writing Services

Start at 60 minutes minimum (Professional). Advanced degrees require more interview time because we need to properly capture your research, publications, thesis work, and academic achievements — and translate them into language that resonates with employers.

If you're targeting senior roles or have significant professional experience alongside your degree, consider 75 or 90 minutes.

Only if you have zero work experience. The 15-minute Student/Entry package is designed for recent graduates whose resume will focus primarily on education, coursework, and campus activities.

If you have internships, co-ops, part-time jobs, or significant project work, choose 30 minutes (Mid-Career) instead — we'll need time to dig into those experiences and find the accomplishments that set you apart.

Career changers typically need more interview time, not less. We need to understand both your background AND your target to identify transferable skills and reposition your experience effectively.

Choose based on where you're headed:

• Targeting entry/mid-level in new field: 30-60 minutes depending on years of experience
• Targeting management/leadership: 60-75 minutes minimum
• Major pivot with 10+ years experience: 75 minutes recommended

The extra interview time lets us dig into your past roles to find the stories that prove you can succeed in your new direction.

If you think you'll need more time, choose a longer interview upfront. Our writers are skilled at guiding conversations efficiently, but some careers are genuinely more complex to capture.

If we don't get through everything in your scheduled time, your writer will craft your resume based on the information collected during the interview. The result will still be professional and effective, but may not include every detail you wanted to share.

If you'd like additional interview time after your session, you can purchase a follow-up interview:

• 15-minute follow-up: $75
• 30-minute follow-up: $125

When in doubt, go with the longer option — it's easier to have extra time than to wish you had more.

You get unlimited revisions for 14 days after receiving your first draft. During this period, you can request as many changes as you need through your client portal chat — there's no limit.

Your writer will typically respond to revision requests within 24 hours (business days). Most clients need 1-2 rounds of revisions, but we'll keep working with you until you're completely satisfied.

After 14 days, the revision period closes. If you need changes after that, you can purchase additional revision time. Learn more about our revision process →

A second, fully customized resume targeting a different career path or role type. This is ideal if you're exploring two distinct directions — like applying for both Project Manager and Business Analyst roles, or targeting positions in two different industries.

The 2nd Focus Resume includes:

• A follow-up interview (15-30 minutes) to discuss your second target
• A completely rewritten resume optimized for that specific direction
• A new cover letter tailored to the second focus
• Same 14-day revision period as your primary resume

This is different from minor tweaks — it's a strategic repositioning of your experience for a different audience. Pricing varies by package level because more senior careers require more time to reframe effectively.

A 60-minute 1-on-1 session with a professional interview coach to prepare you for job interviews. This is especially valuable if you haven't interviewed in years, are switching industries, or want to improve your confidence and delivery.

During your coaching session, you'll:

• Practice answering behavioral interview questions (STAR method)
• Learn how to communicate your unique value and accomplishments
• Get feedback on your answers, tone, and body language
• Prepare for tough questions like salary expectations, employment gaps, or career changes
• Build confidence and reduce interview anxiety

Sessions are conducted via video call so your coach can observe your nonverbal communication. You'll leave with specific techniques to practice before your real interviews.

Both packages include a senior writer and a strategic executive format, but they differ in interview depth:

• Senior Leadership (75 min) — For Directors, Senior Managers, and professionals targeting $120K+ roles with 10-15 years of experience
• Executive (90 min) — For VPs, C-Suite, and senior executives with 15+ years of experience and complex career narratives

If you're managing large teams, P&L responsibility, or driving organizational transformation, the extra interview time in the Executive package ensures we capture the full scope of your leadership impact.

If you don't land any interviews within 90 days of receiving your final resume, we'll rewrite it for free. This guarantee reflects our confidence in our process — when we invest the time to truly understand your background through our interview, we create resumes that get results.

To qualify, you must be actively applying to jobs that match the target roles we discussed during your interview. Read the full guarantee details →
